THUMB
RECORDS

Independent label: Thumb Records was based in Guildford and owned by Tony Leach.  Catalogue numbers suggest that Thumb issued at least six records but I have only been able to track down five of them, and four of those were albums.  LPs and singles shared the same TR-000 numerical series.  TR-001, a Various Artists LP entitled 'Who Invited Them?' came out in 1978 and featured four bands: Headwaiter, House, Poker, and the Jackie Lynton H.D. Band.  The latter provided the label with what appears to be its only single, 'Dan (The Hedgehog Song)', which was numbered TR-003, and it came out in 1979.  Apparently its 'B' side, 'Farting With The Famous', was co-written by Rick Parfitt, of Status Quo.  Jackie Lynton bands were also responsible for two LPs, 'Till We're Blue In The Face' (TR-002; 1979) and 'White Line' (TR-006; 1983), with Mainline's 'Where We Are Now' (TR-004; 1981).
